10 fantastic photos of revellers partying in the park at final summer concert in South Shields
Despite the damp start to the day, around 12,000 people partied at Bents Park in the last summer concert of the year.
It was a trip back to the 80s with performances from The Fizz – made up from three former members of Bucks Fizz – and iconic American R&B group Shalamar.
Despite a one hour delay for the final act due to “technical issues” the crowd were in raptures as they danced to classic 80s tunes including ‘A Night to Remember’ and ‘I can Make You Feel Good’.
Check out these 10 fantastic photographs of people partying in Bents Park.
